1. Yesterday
Charlotte "the harlot" Hobrough walked away with the £1m prize in
Survivor, the infamous US import that saw 16 relatively unlikeable people battling it out on a deserted Malaysian island.

2. No doubt most of the tension was limited to folk in ITV corporate headquarters, who have been wondering what happened to their planned coup of reality TV viewing figures. ITV sank £10m into the show, which has failed spectacularly to interest the British public, most of whom are busy watching Big Brother over on Channel 4.

3. Charlotte went into the final day with the scheming, sneering Jackie Carey, who failed to win a single vote from a jury of seven other castaways. Only about 5m - 7m of you seemed to care.

5. Some viewers were also concerned about possible damage being done to the fragile ecology of Pulau Tiga, the tiny island were the show was filmed.

6. ITV surely could not have seen the dismal viewing figures coming, given the rapturous reception given to the US version of the show, produced by CBS.

7. The first winner, Richard Hatch, achieved near-mythical status on the US talk-show circuit after his victory last summer. Inevitably, some nasty investigative journalist had to come along and question both his tactics and CBS manipulation of the show.

8. Tina Wesson, a 40-year-old nurse from Tennessee, became the latest to scoop a $1m prize as the winner of Survivor version 2, filmed in the Australian outback. Survivor 3 - the African adventure - will be screened in the autumn.

9. One of the eligibility requirements in the US is that you do not run for public office until after the initial broadcast of the programme. Can a "Survivor winner for president" campaign be far behind?

10. ITV would be wise not to have another go at the Survivor phenomenon. But if you can pass yourself off as an American, then you can apply to be part of Survivor 4, to be filmed in a secret location. Hurry, the casting call closes Friday, and you need to sort yourself out a US passport.
